About This Property

This terraced house is located in WATFORD, WD19 4AL. The property offers 62.92mยฒ (677 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. The solid walls lack insulation.

Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ643, comprising ยฃ502 for heating, ยฃ91 for hot water, and ยฃ50 for lighting. The property produces 2.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2021 for ยฃ408,500, with 2 recorded sales in our database. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
